The Inscape of Faith

Random thoughts

We’re in the season called Easter. My thoughts are loaded concerning this and more. I hardly know why the day is called Easter; I’m not that deep theologically. However, another bible translation I consulted has helped me out. It calls it the feast of unleavened bread (Acts 12:4). This is the feast held starting from the 14th day of the month spilling over to pasca or the Passover feast. The Jewish religious calendar actually begins in March-April. The feast of unleavened bread comes before Passover which is atonement. So, the Lord’s death as the offering of the Lamb that takes the sin of the whole world away was calculated to the divine degree of accuracy; it’s just the time of Jew Passover that the Lord Jesus went to the cross, the pasca for the whole world – the age that was, the age to come and the age that is. The Lord’s statement on the cross, it is finished, is loaded with profound depth of meaning yet unfathomed though man has been on this subject for over two thousand years. read more
